Work on the two new stands at Exeter City’s St James’ Park are continuing at great pace and remain on course to be finished by October.

The £3.5 million project has been ongoing for just over a year now and is the first major significant change in the St James’ Park landscape since the 1990s, when the Big Bank and old Cowshed were demolished and rebuilt.

The club are seeing a new 1,600-all seater stand built to replace the Old Grandtsnad (Stagecoach Stand) and a new covered terrace installed at the St James’ Road End of the stadium.

And as our pictures show, the work is looking pretty impressive with the main structure of the new stand pretty much in place.

The new stand is positioned closer to the Away End, compared to the old stand, which means the small area of terracing that used to creep along the touchline will no longer exist.

A stand purchased from Barnet at a cost of £300,000 will be erected at the Away End once the new stand is complete.

However, perhaps the most impressive sight of the new stand is from Well Street itself, as these pictures show...

A spokesman for the club said: “We are pleased with the progress of the development and remain on schedule for completion by late summer-early autumn.

“As soon as the home season finished on May 17 the hoarding was removed and the temporary floodlight pylon taken down.

“The control room and first aid cabin were disconnected and made ready for repositioning.

“The Big Bank temporary toilets were removed and the existing turnstiles have been sent to the fabricators for repairs ready for installation in the Triangle.

“Work is continuing to the Well Street boundary wall and in the next period the floor to the Undercroft will be constructed and all the cladding rails will be completed.

“The roof installation is planned for the end of June/beginning of July. Works will also continue to the disabled ramp at the front of the stand.”
